Slow cooker/crockpot favorites

http://www.yankeemagazine.com/recipe/plimoth-plantations-slow-cooker-indian-pudding I was just reading about this recipe, which I have not made, but since it is a traditional American dish, I thought I’d pass it along as a first installment of a thread on slow cooker ideas. BTW, does anyone think it needs to be made in so large a cooker?

Rick Bayless smoky pork tinga tacos. It’s a pared down version (no browning first) from another book but I don’t find it compromised the dish at all. I’d never had potatoes with Mexican food but this is super.

Judging by the ingredients, I don’t see why it can’t be made in a smaller crockpot. It’s not like the pudding puffs up and expands during the cooking phase!
